Mitt votes to convict Trump and in that moment sets himself apart and above his so-called GOP colleagues. He is the only partisan in history to vote against his party.
For Romney to implicitly suggest that his guilty vote was superior to the united vote of his political party reveals his stark arrogance and, in reality, sets him apart from the Patriotic Community. Incredibally, I voted for Romney in his election bid. Fool me once, that's one me, fool me twice . . . . . . .
About Rush Limbaugh
Timothy Bella / Washington Post:
Rush Limbaugh joins the likes of Mother Teresa and Rosa Parks as recipient of highest civilian honor
— There was Mother Teresa, “a heroine of our times,” and Rosa Parks,
“a living icon for freedom in America.” Elie Wiesel kept “watch against
the forces of hatred,” while Jackie Robinson …
Editor: I am older than Rush but - among other things - I have been a contrarian most of my adult life. Back in the early 1990's, my daughter called me with this announcement: "Dad, you need to listen to KMJ at nine in the morning. They have a guy on there who talks like you." And I have listened to him since that time. What is key, here, is the fact that Rush is our voice. More specifically, he is the blue collar intellectual . . . . and Trump mirrors that same blue-collar mentality.
I have found that those who do not care for Rush do not listen to him. Their opinions of him are shaped by his critics . . . his enemies. they listen to those who hate the man. And in that sense, their opinons are not their own.

We forget the reason, the single reason, for Limbaugh's seeming "instant" success, namely, that he voiced the opinions of the common man. Within the shortest of time, he ceased to be a stranger on the radio. He was one of us and that is why he is loved and given a place of honorwithin the Patriotic community.
Two thoughts the impeachment outcome:
Grace Segers / CBS News:
Susan Collins will vote to acquit Trump, saying he's “learned” from impeachment
— Watch Norah O'Donnell's exclusive interview with Susan Collins on
the “CBS Evening News” on Tuesday, February 4, at 6:30 p.m. ET. —
Washington — Republican Senator Susan Collins announced Tuesday she will
vote …
Somewhere embedded in this headline should appear the words "of course."
ABC News:NEW!
Senate poised to acquit Trump in historic impeachment trial
— A question about the 4 p.m. Wednesday vote is how some Democrats
will vote. — The months-long impeachment and Senate trial of President
Donald Trump comes down to an anticlimactic end Wednesday afternoon
with a 4 p.m. vote all-but-certain to end in his acquittal.
Editor: Of course, there never was any doubt. That being true, The House impeachment was never about protecting the nobility of the presidency. I will leave to your imagination to contemplate the actual reasons.
With this definition, I am not so sure "demagogue" is a bad thing when describing our President:
Osita Nwanevu / New Republic:
Trump Has Never Looked More Comfortable as a Demagogue
Trump Has Never Looked More Comfortable as a Demagogue
dem·a·gogue
/ˈdeməˌɡäɡ/
noun
a
political leader who seeks support by appealing to the desires and
prejudices of ordinary people rather than by using rational argument.
"a gifted demagogue with particular skill in manipulating the press"
At the beginning of the impeachment process, Trump's approval was at 39%. Now . . . .
The president’s approval rating now sits at 49%, according to a poll published Tuesday by Gallup, up from 45% in the last Gallup poll. This is also the highest approval rating Trump has enjoyed since his inauguration in January 2017.
Understand that this is a national poll, so don't believe those who claim that the majority of the population wants Trump emoved when his approval numbers are skyrocketing.

After the greatest State of the Union speech of all time, Pelosi shows her grade school era immaturity by tearing up her copy of President Trump's speech.
She stacked the pages in such a way as to require 4 or 5 efforts at tearing up the entire speech. Take it to the bank, she just gave Trump an ad for why she no longer deserves her position as Speaker.
Pelosi was asked by reporters why she ripped up the speech.
“It was the courteous thing to do considering the alternatives,” and with those words, she dismissed her reaction to the speech, a first time in American history reaction, and traded it in for one of the most immature displays ever seen in The Chamber. Pure trash.
BTW: The Left will point to the notion that Trump refused to shake hands with Pelosi as he passed out his speech to Pence and the Speaker. Me? I am not sure that Trump saw the extended hand as Pelosi extended her hand just as Trump was turning to face the audienc.
Rand Paul names the whistleblower without identifying him as such - and gets away with it.
Rand Paul mentions the "Vindman brothers who know Eric G . . . (go to 139 on
the video feed)."
Eric G is the whistleblower. The Chief Justice must know that the
Eric G is the whistleblower. The Chief Justice must know that the
whistle blower has already been name which means . . . . the Chief Justice is as much a game player as the rest of the jerks in congress.
We agree with this Trump decision:
Brian Stelter Says CNN Not Invited To Lunch With Trump Before State Of The Union Address
CNN has sacrificed its standing as a news agency, trading this for a partisan propaganda agency "because this time is too important to be wasted on 'objective' reporting" (Chris Matthews, MSNBC).
Understand that the total average audience for CNN/MSNBC is 3.2 million viewers. Fox News averages are more than 4 million and FoxBusiness records an average audience of 3 million per day.
